The story of Oliver twist shows many facts that belong to the same reality. One hand, the story is developed in a crowded England, in which the opportunities were not so much. On the other hand, the story developed the idea of a child who used to steal. Taking into consideration both topics, I can infer that, in a way, the society could be responsible for Oliver’s action. I am not saying that Oliver’s actions were right, but they may be occasioned because of the problems he had to face.
In today’s world, specifically in our country, there are some features that are closely connected with the English’s 19th society. Our city is very crowded. Most of people have a car and because of that streets are full of them. Related to public transportation, the problems that Santiaguinos had to live were several. There were not enough buses to move to the quantity of people that the city have. This problem showed to society how much people need to get a bus for many reasons.
Probably, England does not have this problem today, but there are others countries that are facing these problems now. I think every country have their time to face radical changes.

Good comments!!!
I have a doubt though, did Oliver really steal something or he belonged to a band of young thieves?
What about the concept of childhood showed in the movie and the concept we manage nowadays?
It would be great if you can develop more the idea of the problems Oliver faced and the ones our children in Chile are facing...which similarities can you find?
take care,
claudia
